I can't really say exactly how I got it, but someone who works in the film industry was kind enough to send me copies of this and the third film. Sadly I don't have the score for the original but they said they can get a copy but it's harder because the score was recorded in the 80's and is stored on old analog tapes where as TMNT 2 and 3 were on digital audio tapes. I actually have a longer version of TMNT 2. The one I shared was something I edited together and took the best parts of it.

When I get a chance I may post something for TMNT 3.

Cool! Were there any unused tracks that didn't make it into the film for TMNT 2? If you get a chance, I would LOVE to hear the rest of what you have for 2!

Well, there seems to be a few cues from the film not on what I was sent and then there are cues on here that I did not hear in the film but can tell it is a part of the score. So yes it has unused cues on here not in the film, but missing some as well.

Thank you so much for posting this, tmntscorefan! This means so much to me, and I know that many other fans feel the same way. It's quite a remarkable occasion, considering this is something we've been waiting 25 years for!

And to echo the sentiments of TheSkeletonMan939, I'd like to reiterate that us completionists would also really love to hear the unabridged and unedited versions of the scores, too. Just know that if you ever have the time and feel inclined to post the other material in your possession, it would also be greatly appreciated.

Parts of scores can go unused for a lot of reasons. Maybe the director decided he didn't want it in the end; maybe it was scored for a cut scene; maybe a source cue was used instead, or maybe it was tracked from previous material.

It's cool that this material has a chance to see the light of day now.

Whaaaaat?! This is amazing! Please do post everything you have! I guarantee that everyone here will eat it all up!

Not sure if I'll post up all the tracks from each one. I may end up selling my copies that were sent to me on cdrs if anyone would be even interested in something like that. If so feel free to private message me.

I have been waiting a long time for this! Thank you soo much! "A New Home" seems to be a very fitting cue for this thread.

As an aside, is this the full version of "Escape the Junkyard?" I seem to recall a more lighthearted, but exciting version of the Tokka/Rahzar theme being heard as they knock a bunch of foot soldiers over while the others are trying to escape into the sewer. The moment where Raph says "Step up to the bar, boys!" Was this cue amongst the material you weren't sent?

hi sgtfbomb that is one of the cues from the third Ninja turtles movie when the turtles free the prisoners from the dungeons and one part of cue is when Michelangelo finally comes home. It looks like it was mislabeled or something

The cue when Mikey is transported back to the lair at the end is a callback to "A New Home" from SOTO, which is not only heard when they find the new lair in the second film, but also after they defeat Super Shredder and when Mikey finds the sewer lid in the junkyard.

I need to re-watch the movie, but I think this is also true for the rest of "Escape the Junkyard." The gladiator-esque music was Tokka/Rahzar's theme, which was later re-used in TMNT 3, if my memory serves right. The music I was talking about earlier -- when Raph says "Step up to the bar, boys!" -- is a different variation of the same music, just more fun and jovial. It's a really great piece.

I do believe this version of "Escape the Junkyard" is not mislabeled, but in the actual film, in that scene. I think it just cuts off here as Mikey finds the lid. So I wonder if the rest of the music from that scene wasn't included with the tracks given to tmntscorefan.

For the record, I entered into a transaction with the original poster for the complete TMNT 2 & 3 scores that he said he had on CD. It's been two weeks since I paid him and I have no CDs and he has not responded to any messages asking for tracking information.

I did not completely trust the guy when I decided to do this, but I thought it was worth the risk. I am still hoping that he will come through with what he promised, but as it stands I have a dispute open with PayPal on the matter. I hope no one else got taken by him.

UPDATE: I may have received the CDs. I have a package at the post office that I need to sign for, and I can't think of anything else that I'm expecting. Won't be able to pick it up until Saturday; will update then.

Hopefully it will indeed be the CD's, good luck.

It's still weird that this music was posted all of a sudden after so many years!
